Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 262:

Le Yun

However, they didn't have any complaints. After all, the current family business was crucial.

After driving for more than half an hour, the carriage finally entered the small road leading to the Linhe Village. Uncle Kou, accompanied by two guards, was waiting on horseback.

Seeing Murong Zong's carriage approaching, he signaled them to follow behind. He rode his horse ahead, guiding the way.

After another half hour, a village larger than Lihua Village appeared before them.

Uncle Kou left two guards to watch the carriage and led them on foot to the pre-arranged location.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Uncle Kou stopped under a tree, looking at a child washing clothes by the river. He said earnestly, "That's the child. My people found out that he often comes to the riverside to wash clothes around this time. There's no one around now, so we can go and take a look."

Murong Zhe nodded; after all, they were in someone else's village, and caution was indeed necessary.

Murong Zhe's heart tightened as he looked at the child washing clothes.

The weather was gradually getting cooler, and seeing a five-year-old child alone by the fast-flowing river, even if he wasn't his son, Murong Zhe couldn't help but worry about the safety of the family.

"Le Yun," Uncle Kou approached and whispered.

Le Yun, engrossed in scrubbing the clothes in his hands, turned his head slowly upon hearing someone calling him. "Who... are... you?"

Murong Lingran sighed helplessly at the sight of his face.

Despite the facial resemblance to Murong Ding and the awkward way of speaking, one word at a time, he did share some similarities. The terrifying scar on his forehead matched Uncle Kou’s description.

Murong Zong approached to check the child's left wrist, confirming the presence of a red birthmark similar to his sixth brother's.

"It's been only a few months. I, Murong Zhe couldn’t forget my own son. I already knew from a distance that this isn't my son," Murong Zhe said, shaking his head regretfully. "Although he indeed has a birthmark on his left wrist, bears some resemblance to Murong Ding, and matches in height, he is not Murong Ding."

Uncle Kou wasn't overly disappointed; he had anticipated the possibility.

"Who are you? What do you want with my brother?" Someone asked.

Before Uncle Kou could speak, an anxious voice reached their ears.

Everyone turned to look and saw a young man of fifteen or sixteen suddenly shouting across the river.

After his words, the young man hurriedly crossed a nearby wooden bridge and approached them. He anxiously pulled Le Yun over and carefully examined his entire body.

"Le Yun, are you okay? Why did you come to the river again? Didn't I tell you not to come yesterday? Do you know it's dangerous by the river? And them, did they do anything to you?"

Le Yun responded slowly, "Sis… told… Le Yun … to come… Le Yun… didn't want to come… river… water… froze… hands… … they… didn't… harm… Le Yun."

Lu Lezheng gritted his teeth and said, "Le Yun, I'm sorry. From now on, Second Brother will take you everywhere and never leave you alone at home."

After saying this, he packed up all the clothes and placed them in a basin, shielding Le Yun behind him. Then, he looked at Murong Ling Ran's group warily.

"What were you trying to do to my brother just now?"

Seeing his unfriendly expression, Murong Zhe hurriedly explained, "Little brother, don't misunderstand. My son went missing, and we heard there's a child here who looks like my son with a red birthmark on his left wrist. That's why we came to take a look."

The guarded look in Lu Lezheng's eyes deepened. He frowned and said, "Don't come here to deceive me. Tell me, are you trying to kidnap my brother? If I hadn't come, would you have taken my brother away directly?"
